Learn how to get politicians to listen at Unite meeting tonight

The Bracknell branch meetings at The New Priestwood Community Centre at 7.30pm

Union members will meet in the hope of finding ways to get political parties to listen to their needs at Unite’s next discussion.

The Bracknell branch will talk about concerns including the cost of living, jobs, homes, the NHS and other vital services. Ed Glasson, branch secretary, said that there had been media coverage on the UKIP “earthquake” in the recent Euro elections.

He added: “UKIP’s success and the failure of most voters to vote are both probably due to deserved hostility towards the EU’s neoliberal regime, which has devastated lives across Europe, and its irredeemably undemocratic version of ‘democracy’.

“But, with our three major national parties all offering very much the same Thatcherite policies, voters aren’t being given much choice in UK elections, either, and this is further fuelling disenchantment with politics.”

The meeting takes place at The New Priestwood Community Centre, in Priestwood Court Road, at 7.30pm tomorrow
